Boys as u know it is the world cup cricket final, and while I would rather listen to the missus bang on about her day at work than watch it (apart from the ashes, cant stand the aussies) I think the kiwis can do it. As u know I delivered a big “Dave double” winner on Friday at 7-10. For me either the kiwis or aussies win this so I wud much rather be on the kiwis at 2-1 bet365. my mate norm who runs the golden globe pub and is a big cricket fan reckons Maxwell over 23.5 runs at 5-6 is great odds at betway as is smith o33.5 runs 3-5. GL if u follow I am hoping to wake up wiv a full cooked brekky, the missus a couple of chins missing and the kiwis holding the world cup aloft 😀

bet365 wouldnt give me my 110 bet from earlier that i wagered and won back 81.66 but i did get 50 quid from being polite that i put on your nba tips. fortunately i pressed the wrong button on gsw in under instead of overs n cashed out back in profit after my earlier 29 quid loss,

all on cricket n rich by monday. hv decide to put all on whoever bats first so set the alarm for 430am. do the same. whoever bats first on that ground wins 80% of games

probably doing spurs -7.5 home to grizzlies with side bet on -10 and looking at cavs -17 home to philly and may even play the total in the wizards game 202 seems low if hardens on his game.
lakers 202 seems low 2

I know, shocking. There’s just nothing. I did want to lump on Australia pre-match but waited for the toss as I thought £1.45 was a little under what I would have liked.
If Australia batted first my thinking was £1.45 was then a fair price.

***With my 2 main bets for the day winning & returning me about 50 points (~20 profit) im not too disappointed with my doubles both dropping a leg. Nuggets kept it close to the death as I mentioned in my write up, whilst the World Cup was easily wrapped up by Australia.

Well that was an anticlimax. Can’t really complain that the best all round team won the tournament it’s just a shame mccullum couldn’t make the final a little more exciting. Really struggling to see how England could possibly beat this team in the summer and I’ll be investing some more on an aussie ashes victory

Giorgi d halep @ 4/1
Halep has gone walkies in a number of her recent matches. She is also very possibly mentally/ physically fatigued afer her title run last week. she had been known to wobble the tournament after titles before and Girgi had the perfect game to hurt her. Vaidisova showed in the last round how taking the ball early and hitting it hard is the way past Halep. Giorgi cannot be trusted to put in a clean performance so this Is a low stakes afair, but if she makes a decent number of first served and doesn’t make too many errors she has a good chance. Haleps second serve was there for the taking against Vaidisova and Girogi will relish attacking it if she gets a look at it. Could be a thumping if she has a nightmare like she sometimes does, but im happy to take Halep on here

Also having a small go on

Dimitrov to win miami @ 80/1
Berdych to win miami @ 25/1

With no Federer, Nadal still playing his way back to his best and Murray somewhat struggling, there must be some value in looking outside the top seeds. Novak is of course expected to win but he dropped a set against Klizan which i didn’t expect and is coming off a fairly long week in Indian Wells. He should have more than enough in the tank to go all the way here but there’s just no value at odds on.

Alex I reckon it’s a very worthwhile investment mate. I first tipped it at evens 3 weeks ago and Australia are now 8/11 at best. I’ve put around 30 points on them so far and I’ll work out later what my profit is from this world cup and put the rest on again

Wet lettuce cheers it was a great tournament. My 4 points on NZ E/W paid out 6 points too which very slightly softens the blow of the last bet slightly but still disappointed in the final. Best team won pretty easily though and didn’t seem in trouble at any stage during the 6 weeks so can’t complain. Only 4 years til the next one!

Juan I think it’s a risky game as tsonga can play some excellent tennis when in form but monfils has a good recent h2h and good form so I reckon he will win but like I say tsonga is no easy task if he turns up

I did like reading this article this morning. The former Patriots player Rodney Harrison on the noise the Jets are making about knocking the Patriots off and winning the Championship.

“The Jets are, all of a sudden, on a high thinking they’re going to win a championship,” Harrison said on NBC Sports Radio “You’re not going to win a championship, you’re not even going to make the playoffs, because you don’t have a quarterback. If you go into the season and you’re expecting Geno Smith to improve, it’s not going to happen. He might get a little better, but when times get tough, when adversity hits, guess what he’s going to do? He’s going to fold just like the last couple years.”

Oh no Geno, no respite even in the off season. Antepost NFL tip the only way the Jets get to the playoffs is if 26 other franchises decided to forfeit the season 😀

gutted dave wish was on they cruised it , well i think its approaching the stage in the season where BIG teams are trying to hit form defensively and offensively , so i`m gonna try and stay with sides that believe they have a chance to go far in the competition.
houston needed that second placing to avoid a first round series with the spurs , spurs play grizzlies and hopefully will want to lay down a marker.

The Nets have failed to cover ATS in their last 8 straight home games, whereas the Lakers have quietly covered ATS in 10 of their last 13 games and performing admirably on the road. That’s enough for me to take the lakers with the huge head start here.

(apologies for posting so close to start time, but I just woke up in Oz).

Alex yes of course mate go for it. Just seen this as I’ve been on a 4 hour coach trip back from Northampton haha feeling pretty delicate at the moment. Feeling a little lost without any cricket to look forward to or research to be done! Back to football I guess..

Haha I posted my treble last night mate and was watching the Poland game so thought I’d have some time before they all tipped off and remembered it was Sunday. Never mind Nets doing the job at the minute. I’m just waiting for the Warriors to win it all to be honest mate 😀

if Curry and Thompson can stay fit they’ll win it. Best home court in the NBA and they’ll probably have it as long as they beat the Hawks overall. Only a few places giving better than 3’s now. Best are Skybet EW @ 10/2 to two places @ 1/2 odds.

No sorry the 1992 part is correct but its division they’ve finished second. They haven’t won the Western or their division since 1976. Just a break out season really. You could say they are a bit like Liverpool. Haven’t won it for a couple of decades 😀

Thanks for the info Jordan! Surprising considering the form there in and the record they have this season! I’ve only just started getting into basketball the last few months but i’m loving it! Suppose its better when you win money on it too haha

Jordan how dare u say that WWE is stage fs wat is wrong with u tonight u have changed recently first u forgot there were loads of early NBA games on early now ur saying WWE is fake wtf man next u will be telling us avatar isn’t a true story and the real avatar people are green instead of blue ktf bro

Belichick is like the sir Alex of the NFL, Revis will be on huge amounts of cash and with Geno turning the ball over on a regular basis he will see plenty of game time Belichick let Wes Welker walk, now all he is doing is walking the streets hoping for a phone call, praying it isn’t from Todd Bowles.

Mavericks are the better team but they haven’t gelled very well lately, especially on the road. Rondo is doing for them what they were hoping for.
Indiana has a top 5 defence, strong bench & tough home court. I think Indiana will win this with their defence in a tight low scoring grind.

Difficult one David mate. Memphis have really gone off the boil and lost Jeff Green the other night. Spurs have been dominant at home recently with Memphis losing to two big playoff teams, so the Spurs will probably make it a 3rd at home, but by 8, I’m not sure (which is why I took the -1.5 in my treble).

Cheers Wet Lettuce. Yeah Pacers did me in a couple times when they hit that rough losing patch but they’re playing well again the last week.
Maybe the best play would be the UNDER in this one but I prefer Doing ATS bets.

Kl bro thanks for the reply I put it on fingers crossed it comes in on ur treble aswell so even if they don’t win with more than 8 points aslong as the win by 2 the treble will keep me in profit brother

Btw Huggy – mate, one thing I’ve noticed is that we both ride each others luck in the NBA. We are either both in form with out our tips or both out of form, lol. Been like that for a few months now. Funny that.

Great to be bashing bookies thanks to ye guys except my bashing today was small profit it still is better than nowt. Do ye guys think the bookies hv had a really bad weekend. To me from comments on here n 365 crash international football cricket n nba goldmine theyv lost a lot.

Lovely treble Jordan and excellent Huggy with Spurs -8 & Rockets -2.5. The two main men are back to their excellent best. Well done guys. Yeer NBA knowledge is hard to beat. Awesome stuff. Jordan&Huggy it has to be GSW this yr but the Spurs are hitting peak form at right time too!!

Its funny that the Cavs are favs outright but i suppose the east is pretty poor so should be easy for them to reach finals!! the west is by far the toughest playoff playground but you nailed it spot on. main reason Spurs won last yr was home court adv due to #1 seed. Warriors can win H & A so they wont need many games to reach NBA finals. Curry & Co all the way mate.
